There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

An example of the kind of simultaneous data collection that will be possible with the new catheter-based ultrasound device. This figure shows 3D functional imaging with a prototype forward-viewing device in laboratory models of narrowed vessels: (A) Conventional ultrasound imaging of lesion morphology in straight and stenotic, or narrowed, vessels, with extracted lumen shape shown in yellow, (B) 3D vector velocity imaging in straight and stenotic vessels, and (C) Strain rate imaging of a control vessel model and a model with a soft inclusion on the right inner surface. The proposed system to be built under this project will be smaller and have higher resolution than this prototype. (Image Courtesy: Brooks Lindsey)
